Air Suspension System

Air Lift makes many kits for many different makes and models. In-fact they make there Air Lift 1000 Kit for just about all coil spring vehicles with an air suspension system. They have become a common solution for old saggy suspensions, as well as being a common upgrade for anyone who tows much with there vehicle. Air Lift makes a Controller now for there Air Lift 1000 Kits, if you’d like an air lift 1000 review. These controllers give you the ability to level your vehicle front to back, so you can adjust the firmness of your ride as well. The best part is without this kit you would have to get out of your vehicle to add or remove pressure from the bags. But with an onboard compressor, you can adjust the bags on the go, staying inside your vehicle. These kits come with a couple pressure gauges and a switch pod. The gauges are nice for monitoring, and noting what pressures you like for what types of driving. The system is less than $200 and install is not a problem. The Air Lift Single Path Load Controller 2 is a great addition to any Air Lift 1000 kit.

So we have all heard of the Air Lift 1000, for whatever vehicle, as they have them for almost everything. I just wanted to share another successful story. I installed one on my neighbors 92 Suzuki Sidekick. The kit added alot of towing ability to the vehicle, which is nice as my neighbor haul a small trailer occasionally. She said it handles alot better with the bags, and she likes how the rear bumper doesn’t sit so low now. The kit was less than $100, and the install took me about half an hour. And the best part is it came with a lifetime warranty, so I really had nothing to worry about. Well worth the time and money.

If you have a 04-08 Nissan Titan, and just aren’t happy with the payload, and the way it squats down in the rear alot under load, I have a solution to tell you about. The Titan is meant to have a softer suspension as it is kind of a luxury truck, and its only a half ton. One solution to this payload problem would be to add an extra leaf spring. But then your suspension will be stiff all the time. What if you want to have a nice smooth riding truck when your not hauling anything, but then be able to increase your load by 2000lbs when needed. Well you can, the solution is a simple helper air bag system which will go from the top of your leaf springs to the frame. When filled the bag will make the rear stiffer and firmer for heavy loads, but when the air in the bags is reduced the ride becomes smooth. So if you want to be able to haul that extra load, and be able to enjoy your factory ride as well, this kit is a good choice for you. For the cheapest price, click below.

We also did a air lift 1000 review, if you’d like to stiffen up the rear end of your ride so it doesn’t sag so much. This will increase your towing power by a lot. This should be very helpful and help you decide if you want an air lift.

The 88 Mitsubishi Montero Sport does not handle the greatest from the factory. They are actually pretty sloppy driving cars. Especially if you put a load on them. I struggled with this problem for a little while with my 95, in hopes of getting a bigger truck. But with cash being tight right now, I knew I wouldn’t be getting a new truck anytime soon, so I looked for another solution. Likely I stumbled upon a promising option. It is a kit that will make your suspension active. It puts tension on the spring, like a shock absorber. So that the spring moves in more of a controlled motion. In return means more stable handling, and less sway. This is a necessity if you want to haul anything with your Montero. I bought mine from  this website, as they had the best price, and nicest product. The item shipped promptly, and I was able to install in my garage after work in just one night.

So you may have heard of coil spring conversion kits being used to avoid air suspension problems. Usually they are put on older luxury cars, but you can also get them for higher end cars to. For example I installed one just a couple days ago on a 97 Mercedes S55. The car was beginning to have some air suspension issues were the rear of the vehicle would lower down sometimes and get stiff sometimes. So my customer came to my shop asking about what he could do to fix it. With the economy being the way it is, he asked me if there was any cheap solutions. 

I told him about air suspension conversion kits. And explained that coil springs are probably the most popular suspension you will find on the road today. And in fact air suspension systems are really just over engineered, and really unnecessary. So he decided that a coil spring conversion kit, may be a good route for him. He asked me to price it out for him, and let him know. When I told him that parts would be less than $400 and I could go ahead and install it for an additional $150, he told me to go ahead and order it. I found out that this is where you Order the Parts  . That site had the cheapest price around, and a good reputation for customer service and quick shipping.

The parts came pretty quick, and the install was super easy. Most importantly my customer was very satisfied. He said the car drives just as good as it did with the air suspensions system.

I have a 1991 Infiniti Q45 about 2 weeks ago, my rear airbags went out. I knew the air system was starting to have some problems for a while. Sometimes the car would ride real low and sometimes it would ride real firm. But anyways the rear went out, I limped it back to the house. Luckily we have a spare vehicle I could drive while I repaired my Q45. I started calling around to shops, to find out what my problem was. Most told me that they would have to see it to give me a quote, but most said it would be somewhere around $1600-$2000 to repair it.

I got on the internet to see if there was anything else I could do. As I dont have extra cash to be spending right now. I found an interesting solution that would basically replace my whole air suspension. It is a kit that will convert it to coil springs. Which everyone knows are far more reliable than air bag systems. So I called a few friends of mine that are into cars, and asked them if they thought it was as good of idea as I did. They agreed that it would be a good solution, thats sure to last.

I went ahead and ordered the 4 wheel kit, as I figured the front would be next to quit working on me. So I bought the kit for less than $800, and it included everything to converted my entire air suspension system to coil springs. They got my order to me quick and my brother and I installed them in a couple hours, and we were taking our time. And now my 93 Infinity Q45 is driving great once again. I recommend this Kit!

If your legecy handles poorly and rides rough, it might be time to replace and/or upgrade your struts. A strut is a form of suspension that has a coil around it to support the weight of the vehicle. The strut acts as a shock absorber. When a strut becomes worn out, it becomes soft and fails to absorb impact the way it should, causing your vehicle to ride rough, bumpy, or loose. The handling will also be directly affected, as the vehicle will have alot of sway. 

This was the problem with my 95 Subura Legacy. Struts can get very expensive, it is not hard to spend $1000. There are many good options out there. If you check around online, you can usually get alot better deal than when going into a shop. Then you can just bring the struts and your Legacy to a shop and have them put them on. Or you can install them yourself, if you have some tools and some time. They are a pretty easy and quick install. Much like replacing an air suspension conversion kits with a similar yet cheaper coil kit.

But I bought my struts online, and installed them myself. It took me a few hours to install with the help of one of my friends, and we took our time. My 1995 Legacy handled and rode like new after the install. I was thrilled, it was well worth the money.
